This is pretty good advice

As, sort of this is even if it is kinda jackoff too but I make similar posts

You should be able to buy a used cabinet cheaper than a kit even if you have to rent a truck or pay for freight but you don't get something brand new. Some people like spanking new, some people like something with history. If you don't want to spend a lot on your first cab though you can build a "Vigolix" cabinet. Even with buying tools, it'll still be the cheapest option by far and then you'll have tools for future projects

Sounds like your dad isn't really all that skilled. Someone who has serviced a retro console setup will encounter the same type of things inside an arcade machine. To use an /o/ equivalency it's like going from a car to a truck. Everything is bigger, more rugged and more easily accessible (though replacing whole components is more expensive). It's made to be worked on and a person who would have just bought a new power supply for their SNES may find themselves choosing to repair their cab's power supply. Same with the monitor, though the power supply and monitor do have exposed high voltage components that might be scary to noobs

Base your arcade project on what you want for a final result. Most plebs just want cred so a small bartop or slim sit-down cab. Consider building it around a broken laptop if you want better performance than you'd get from an RPi

black & red god of war ver. would be awesome, but probably impossible.

Somebody a few weeks ago posted the full-on 70s bush hardcore trashy lesbian sauce on this. It's pretty gross.

>belt-scroller is a perfectly acceptable name for side scrolling beat'em'ups
>shmup sounds like retarded Yiddish, STG is a better term even though it sounds like STD
>PC-FX is a good system for 2d jrpgs and SRPGs
>chronotrigger is a shit game
>hydlide is a great series, except for the music in the NES version and the entire Saturn version

I'm with you on Mario, but I mostly suck at platformers.

Nothing derails a thread faster than Ikaruga hate, even if it's unintentional.

To try to break the trend, I'll add something. I always thought Ikaruga was mostly designed to be played on normal (enemies shoot back on death if you are same color), and was best balanced there. Hard (enemies always shoot back on death) seems neat because you can charge your laser REALLY fast, but a little too restrictive. Easy (enemies don't shoot back) is similar to hard, in that the game isn't well balanced. Anyone's thoughts?

Also, did it annoy any of you that you couldn't practice full stages, only sections? Because of the charge mechanic you can't really practice some stages unless you are coming hot off the previous one with a full charge.

Love this game. Been a while since I picked it up, but a favorite of mine.

I worked at Babbage's in the late 90s and I bought a Saturn before I bought an N64 (Playstation first obviously) I was also a popular mallrat in his first apartment, partying every weekend. Ask me anything, I assure you my life was the /vr/ fantasy.

For... social rreasons? But now that I'm secure with a wife and kids I don't really mind the wild swings of popularity that come from iconoclastic behavior.

Well okay. Will spoiler anything with legit nudity. Should I leave out ones that are fully pornographic? OP asked for pics with girls and retro hardware so I guess he doesn't want there to be guys even if they're giving it.

Starting with some actual period shots.

Well, that's what I used to do, but that meas that there isn't any immediate feedback throughout the game. You only have a vague idea of how good you're actually doing, unlike, you know, not even being able to get to level three, or getting to level six for the first time holy shit holy shit! kind of experiences.

Yeah that's the old Milford Amusement Center! I used to go there all the time. So many arcade games I played for the first time ever there plus Q-Zar laser tag! Everytime I go to Retro Games Plus I pass by that place, catch a quick peek of the silhouettes of the arcade games and shed a tear. I'll definitely check out the short film too. I wonder how my Turtles In Time is going :'(
